M5StickC-Plus can use most programs of M5StickC. Due to hardware differences such as screens, please download the M5StickC-Plus library before compiling the program and modify the header file reference in the program as M5StickCPlus.h.

Description

M5StickC PLUS is powered by ESP32-PICO-D4 with Wi-Fi and is an upgrade of the original M5StickC with a bigger screen .It is a portable, easy-to-use, open source, IoT development board. This tiny device will enable you to realize your ideas, enrich your creativity, and speed up your IoT prototyping. Developing with M5StickC PLUS takes away a lot of the pains from the development process. M5StickC Plus is one of the core devices in M5Stacks product series. The compact body is integrated with rich hardware resources, such as infrared, RTC, Microphone, LED, IMU, Buttons, PMU,etc. Improvements from the regular StickC are a buzzer, bigger screen (1.14-inch, 135 * 240 resolution LCD Screen) and more stable hardware design. This revision increases the display area by 18.7%, and the battery capacity from 95mAh to 120mAh. It also supports the HAT and Unit family of products.

USB Driver

Connect the device to the PC, open the device manager to install FTDI driver for the device. Take the win10 environment as an example, download the driver file that matches the operating system, unzip it, and install it through the device manager. (Note: In some system environments, the driver needs to be installed twice for the driver to take effect. The unrecognized device name is usually M5Stack or USB Serial. Windows recommends using the driver file to install directly in the device manager (custom Update), the executable file installation method may not work properly). Click here to download FTDI driver

Accelerometer, microphone, LED, IR, RTC and other hardware tests. Press A or B to switch test items.

Notice:

  • Baud rate supported by M5StickC Plus: 1200 ~115200, 250K, 500K, 750K, 1500K

  • G36/G25 share the same port, when one of the pins is used, the other pin should be set as a floating input

  • For example, to use the G36 pin as the ADC input, Configuration the G25 pin as FLOATING

  • The input range of VBUS_VIN and VBUS_USB is limited to 4.8-5.5V, and the internal battery will be charged through AXP192 power management when VBUS is powered.
